CALAX Silang Interchange starts toll collection

MANILA: Following its opening late last year, MPCALA Holdings Incorporated has started collecting toll fees in the Silang (Aguinaldo) Interchange of the Cavite-Laguna Expressway (CALAX).

As approved by the Toll Regulatory Board, the operator commenced the collection of fees for the usage of the said portion beginning 12:01 a.m. last February 10.

Below are the updated toll rates:

"The implementation of these toll rates aids in the continuous maintenance and enhancement of our toll road while ensuring efficient and safe travel for our users. The Silang (Aguinaldo) Interchange has become a vital part of our network, significantly enhancing the connectivity and economic landscape of the region," MPCALA Holdings President and General Manager Raul Ignacio was quoted as saying.

Considered a critical section of CALAX, the Silang (Aguinaldo) Interchange is connected directly to Aguinaldo Highway to facilitate faster travel to Cavite — including Tagaytay and Silang. It was opened to motorists last November 8.

CALAX has surpassed the targeted 5,000 cars daily traffic for the recently inaugurated subsection, with a daily count of 12,000 vehicles.

Looking ahead, CALAX is set to reach a total length of 45 kilometers by 2025, featuring eight strategically positioned interchanges: Technopark, Laguna Boulevard, Santa Rosa-Tagaytay Road, Silang East, Silang (Aguinaldo), Governor's Drive, Open Canal, and Kawit Interchange. CALAX will seamlessly connect with the Manila-Cavite Expressway (CAVITEX) in Kawit, further unifying key regions. Presently, operational segments span from Mamplasan Rotunda up to the Silang (Aguinaldo) Interchange.
